Shane Ross (Dublin Rathdown, Independent) | Oireachtas source

-----Deputy Clare Daly, from Members of Fianna Fáil and from others. Sometimes those acceptances arise from political pressure or through conviction. There are many reasons for it. This is something new. I have absolutely no shame that amendments from the other side of the House have been accepted and that the Government has not got its wish. That is good democracy.
